April 2025
Mediterranea Inferno is a stunning visual novel that blends emotional depth with striking artistry. Set during the sweltering Italian summer of 2022, the game follows three childhood friends—Claudio, Andrea, and Mida—reuniting after years apart due to the pandemic. It’s a journey of self-discovery, trauma, and healing, wrapped in a unique mix of vibrant visuals, haunting soundscapes, and compelling storytelling. What Works: + Innovative Art Style: The game’s visual design is nothing short of breathtaking. Combining 2D artwork with stylized 3D elements, it feels like walking through a living piece of art. The blend of classic Italian cinema vibes and modern fashion photography makes every scene feel fresh and cinematic. + Emotional Impact: The narrative doesn’t shy away from complex emotions—anxiety, grief, desire—and tackles them with raw honesty. Each character feels real and multi-dimensional, pulling you into their struggles and triumphs. + Immersive Soundtrack: The music in Mediterranea Inferno is more than just a backdrop; it’s an integral part of the storytelling. The score amplifies the highs and deepens the lows, creating an atmosphere that sticks with you. What Could Improve: - Lack of Full Voice Acting: While the game’s text-based delivery is powerful, I did feel that full voice acting would have brought out even more emotional depth. It’s a small miss, but it’s noticeable during key emotional moments where vocal nuance could have amplified the experience. Final Thoughts: Overall, Mediterranea Inferno is a beautifully crafted journey, full of heart and artistry. The way it combines visual, musical, and narrative elements creates a truly immersive experience. Though I would have loved to hear full voice acting, the game’s ability to resonate emotionally makes it a standout in the visual novel genre.

Love it. It's so subtle, so strong, so deep. The struggles of Gen Z in post-pandemic era. The crush from the weight of family and history, the gaze from social media, the desire to be free and yet belong to the crowd. The lyrics of the duet on the beach is my favorite. Are you in love because you are afraid of being lonely

loved milky way prince so i wanted to check this game out by the creator, lorenzo, as well! here are some of my thoughts: [*] amazing art style that is very confident in itself and unique [*] the italian culture in this game is very beautiful and strong [*] i thought the ui was interesting. i liked how the text boxes would move around the screen depending on who was talking. text was glitchy sometimes though [*] 2 or 3 times i had issues loading a save file (not loading from the title, but from within a different save file) [*] the mirage scenes were always pretty cool. loved the eerie yet vibrant vibes they had each time [*] TW: the game is heavily centered around substance abuse, sexual relations, mental health issues, etc. [*] upon reading some of the negative reviews, a lot of people have said that they don't understand what the game is trying to say, or what is even going on at a deeper level. however, i believe this game definitely speaks to themes such as queer identity, rebellion, revolution, etc. more intensely, not just "toxic gay guys on vacation" that one might see at the surface level. [*] this game also touches on how the covid pandemic affected people, specifically young adults finding their way in the world and navigating the transition through their 20s, which i'm sure a lot of people can relate to. having no contact with others, living in isolation, feeling like the world has forgotten about you, losing your identity then trying to rediscover it... all these aspects tie in to the overall narrative in this game. [*] as other reviews have said about the main characters not being likable: they aren't supposed to be. these characters and their feelings are representing the negative feelings, emotions, and actions that can build up within people who have dealt with certain traumas, depressions, etc. though they are best friends, they are toxic as hell to each other, feeding off of each other's insecurities and faults. these characters are meant to show the extremes of certain feelings. there are times throughout the story when you may feel bad for a certain character, yet in the end, they don't redeem themselves; all of them stick with their childlike ways of wanting to be noticed, loved, appreciated for who they are and having their identity accepted, all while doing whatever they can to get there, even if it means hurting each other and seeking revenge. if you're looking for a deep and passionate game that dives into what it means to be queer, to be noticed, to be accepted, to get acknowledgement, consider playing!

Strange, bold and inventive - you'll either click with it or you won't. It absolutely commits to its aesthetics and its insane (even by Italian standards, even by gay standards, even by Catholic standards) level of drama, to the point that for me it loops back around to feeling like a cathartic experience. Not since playing Catherine have I felt the urge to shake playable characters by the shoulders while yelling GOOD LORD, GET A GRIP more, but I kind of love how the game refuses to let you do that and makes you peel back the layers of trauma and ego and longing of these three guys without ever falling into the trap of giving you a good ending where everything fixes itself. This game has so much going on visually and thematically, and a lot of it hits the hardest when experienced firsthand, so I'd just recommend trying it for yourself, but I'll comment on a few things I really liked. There's a lot of very clever uses of visual novel mechanics that are subverted in a way that suggests the author understood what makes them interesting in the first place (the price to pay for that is that it is slightly janky to replay, unfortunately). Visually, it looks incredible, which I think is largely due to great framing (it actually feels like you're looking at a series of film shots) and colours. There's a lot of visual influences at play, the most obvious one being Italian Catholic imagery, but it's deployed in a very intentional way that furthers the narrative - it's neither cryptic nor obvious, which is a thin line to walk. While the prose is often clearly intentionally very ornate, the game is pretty smart about knowing when to let the visuals speak for themselves and let the reader sit with a scene. I will also say the soundtrack is absolutely exquisite (and available on Spotify). If you're intrigued by it, give it a go.

This game doesn't have nearly enough reviews for how good it is. It's incredibly confident in its presentation, with some of the most uniquely stylish artwork I've seen in a game that does a fantastic job of presenting the setting as a lurid, neon-soaked hellscape that is nonetheless sensually tempting, tying in with the constant Catholic imagery and themes of Catholic guilt. The story is very much about a specific moment in time (post-Covid) for a specific group of people (wealthy Italian twinks), but the game uses this setting to tackle universal issues of alienation, stagnation and cyclicality in genuinely interesting ways. The characters are broadly unlikable, but they feel very real and are treated with a lot of empathy by the writing, and you can really feel their simmering, barely contained fury and resentment throughout. It is basically a pure visual novel, so if that's an absolute deal breaker I would steer clear, but otherwise it's highly recommended.
